The Ann Arbor invitational has historically been the 2nd highest profile event of the year only behind the D1 State Finals. West Ottawa has attended this event for the last 15 years and it always draws the best teams in the state. This year was no different. 5 of the 8 teams were in the top 10 of their division at the end of the season last year.

This year the Panthers took home 5th place in their best showing since 2013! Every flight won at least 1 match on the day. The level of play by the other teams was as high as ever but West Ottawa took each match one point at a time and was able to compete with the best that the state has to offer. The Panthers next take the court in their home opener this Monday 8/26 against Jenison.
